Just do it!
Love that saying, I thinks its Nike’s - but its so profound. If you want something really bad - throw away the excuses and just do it. Dont procrasinate, there is always someone worse off than you and there in no better time than to start your plan of action for life than right now, not tomorrow, not Monday, not when the wheather is better or when you have more money or find your perfect partner. This life is about you - but it wont wait for you - get on the flight or stay dreaming of tomorrow. Are you one of those people that start things and dont finish? Well the way to unteach yourself this - is to undertake one small project first, it could be commiting to go to gym for 3 days this week, or eating clean for 4 days this week, it could also be to get out and socialise just once this week or something work related - starting small will allow to attain your goal and inspire you to move unto bigger and better but it will also teach you than you can achieve what you want - that you’re no different from those that have attained similar. Just stop saying that you will start tomorrow - you cant be sure that tomorrow will make an appearance - live TODAY.

Right on! Success begets success. Start with one small promise to yourself and build from there if that’s what it takes. If you can’t keep a promise to yourself, then what good are you to the world? Just do it is so profound, I wish it hadn’t been overexposed as advertisting. I always tell people to not think about going to the gym, get on auto-pilot and go! If you think about it, you might not go. Good blog!

Great blog here! People are very creative when it comes to making up excuses not to start something. They always say" well I would but I have this going on or that going on so I have to wait for a more convenient time." There is no convenient time! theres always stuff going on. This boils back down to how people prioritize. Either it’s a priority or it’s not, plain and simple. I’m very busy but bodybuilding is a huge priority so it comes before alot of other things. Some days I may only get 3 hrs of sleep but thats what it takes to stay dedicated sometimes. I know you make great sacrifices in order to keep meeting goals and thats what I really admire about you. Thats discipline! Great job Melinda!
